Jacob came to visit

Last weekend a friend from York came to visit, Jacob McKinley. He drove up Thursday and stayed with us through Sunday. We had so much fun showing him New England.

Friday we locked him in the apt with the cats for most of the day due to the fact that we both had to work, but we made it up to him. That night we drove him around the area. We stopped by the Book Barn, went out to dinner at Mystic Pizza and took him to Mohegun Sun Casino. It was the first time he had ever been in a casino. HE was fascinated, but also heart broken for those who should not be there.

Saturday we took Jake to Flanders Bakery (best bakery / donut shop ever). Then we made our way to Gillette Castle. The Castle itself was closed, but we were able to walk around the grounds. The view of the CT river is wonderful. After exploring and taking pictures we made out way to Devil's Hopyard to see the waterfall. Then we headed back home for a quick lunch before going to Jonathan Edward's Vineyard. Jake likes red wine, but had never been to a wine tasting. After the wine tasting we went to dinner at Margaritas. Then we went back home to unwind before church the next day.

Sunday, after church, we had lunch and then Jake was on his way home. It seemed like a quick visit, but it was great to show him New England.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend:

Jacob loves cats.  He said he really liked Mystique, but he didn't think Mystique liked him (she is shy.) But Tanzi, on the other hand, Jacob had so much fun with her.  


She is such a flirt!
